Wait wiat wait...wow many people currently have FinalScratch? Richie and
John? How fast can N2it produce this product for the global demand that we
are all foreseeing? I think there are a lot of obstacles in the way of
FinalScratch making a detrimental impact for quite a while.

finalscratch may force independant label's and artist to think, work, or
promote differently. who knows what kind of products can be >created to
compliment or expand finalscratch too. should be an exciting >time for
djs.
many of the points you made were total valid, and i agree on them.
HOWEVER,
you forgot something very important: we're talking about an issue here
that
even the big Records label, with their virtually unlimited cashflow, have
been unable to nic; digital distribution. Now, mp3's certainly didn't
spell
the doom of big record labels yet (hell, i think they profited off of suing
everyone). But it did take a chunk of change out of their profit. At that
point in time, i could care less: Big labels didn't play with the boys that
i like (except for the grand pubahs, but i can care less about them). Big
record labels need to go away, but little ones need to stay. And THAT'S why
i fear this for the little records labels: if a small portion of their
profit margin goes, they could easily sink under. Yeah, vinyl sales aren't
going to tube out, but they will go down quite a bit, at least at first.
and
considering how much it costs to put out vinyl, you're going to see a lot
less vinyl out there. You're going to see vinyl from people who are able
to
put out a couple hundred copies MAYBE at a time, and will only be able to
distribute that locally. I'm very excited and horrified to see what is
going to happen to music as a whole in the next 5 years.
